nurses strike

the interns and PGs have been on strike for about a week and a half now, and the nurses have now joined the picket lines. the hospital is now crewed by senior doctors, medical students, nursing students, and the few interns on attachment from other countries we cannot strike.

half the wards on internal medicine are now closed. reading the newspaper, it seems that other parts of the country are being affected even more seriously than here in lusaka. the government seems slow to respond, and i'm sure many people are dying as a result. corruption - not a very good thing at all
